The doctors, nurses, and health care professionals who daily confront the challenges of the allergy epidemic deserve special recognition.
We acknowledge the achievements of researchers from around the world who work to expand our understanding of the critical role allergies play in our health, and for underscoring the science that shows how we are all inextricably linked to the environment.
